By Philip Kosloski, Aleteia - Yet, while the image came down from the sky, the painting was a real painting that was miraculously transported from a church in Albania. After several military defeats, it was feared that the church would be destroyed and the precious image desecrated.

By Philip Kosloski, Aleteia - (Fr. Luis Ramírez, coordinator of the annual exorcism conference in Rome) said, ““What we see in the movies are the extreme cases, which are very rare … Hence, it doesn’t mean that every exorcism ends as what we see in the theaters. It’s true that there are difficult cases, that can have an impact on us, but this is not what an exorcist deals with every day.”
